Palma on Right Side of "Classic Cooler"
Marc Alonso opened to 2,200 from early position and received calls from Georgios Zachmanidis in middle position and Giuseppe Cimelli in the hijack before Nick Palma shoved for around 30,000 from the button. Alonso and Zachmanidis got out of the way before Cimelli, who had started the hand with around 15,000, made the call and was at risk.
Giuseppe Cimelli: 5♦3♦ 
Nick Palma: A♦Q♦
"Classic Cooler" joked Palma, who moments earlier had received what he said was his fifth beer of the evening. Palma was a huge favorite after making top pair on the A♠K♠9♥ flop and remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 6♦10♥ to score the elimination.
Palma predicted to his tablemates that he will be bagging exactly 602,000 by the end of the night before dragging in the pot.
